In the early 1800s, Presbyterian pioneers from the Carolinas and Georgia moved into the area that came to be known as Quincy. They gathered for worship and in 1828 built a church four miles north of Quincy that they called Philadelphia. Daniel Baker organized the First Presbyterian Church in the village of Quincy. Eight men were o

rdained to serve as Ruling Elders. After a slow start, the church was reorganized in 1838 and new elders and deacons were elected. The first house of worship was erected in 1845 on the corner of King and Madison streets. This church stood on that site until 1923. At that time, it was decided a new church building was needed to meet the growing worship and educational needs of the congregation. The sanctuary we use today is that same structure. However, it was remodeled and rededicated in 1969. The historic Quincy Academy building, located on the corner of Kings and Adams streets, was acquired in the late 1980s and serves as our Community Outreach Building. It currently houses our Clothes Closet. In 2006, a large field and warehouse adjacent to the existing property was gifted to the church. Volunteers planted trees and sod and it is used for recreation and church activities.

The Presbyterian Women of First Presbyterian Church, Quincy, Florida, have presented Rev. Ruth Mashewske with an Honorary Lifetime Membership Award.

Born to a Presbyterian minister and his wife, she grew up immersed in the life and work of the church. These experiences helped shape her faith and calling.

Ruth attended McAllister College in St. Paul, Minnesota, receiving her undergraduate degree. She later attended Princeton Theological Seminary and graduated in 1969. Following graduation, she served the church through biblical teaching and ministry. In 1979, she was ordained as a minister.

Over the years, she faithfully served congregations in Indiana and Kentucky before answering God’s call in Gadsden County. Here she served as pastor for both Woodward Presbyterian Church and Gretna Presbyterian Church for 21 years. In June of 2014, although officially retired, she joined us at First Presbyterian Church as our parish associate.

Since then, she has become an indispensable part of our congregation. She is always present with a smile and a servant’s heart, preparing bible studies, leading the Stephen’s Ministry, supporting women’s activities, building beds for those in need, or simply offering encouragement. In recent years, during periods when our church was without a pastor, Ruth willingly stepped forward to meet the needs of our congregation. For this, we are all grateful.

We have had a few celebrations recently. Michelle McDonald, our Direction of Christian Education and Outreach, officially became a member of our congregation last week. This week, we celebrated the Dr. Rev. Jerry Little's service to our church as an interim minister for the last year. Dr. Rev. Little and his wife, Beverly, were given a quilt made by talented hands at our church and also a cross made by a parishioner. We appreciate their service to us and hope they visit us in the future.
